What would cause a power steering pump to go bad - twice
I am looking into an 01 Disco with a bad steering pump. This is the second time it failed in a year. The owner had it replaced the first time by the local shop - presumably OEM. He is not sure why it failed but suggested maybe leaky seals somewhere.
My concern is the steering rack itself - on my 98 volvo my power steering pump started acting up because I was loosing fluid out the seals of the rack - only solution - rebuilt rack. Is this something I have to be concerned about on the Disco ?
Thanks

I know it can be a pain to change them over and over, maybe using the rtv trick would be a good idea. Just wanted to add that I just bought a rebuilt Cardone pump from rockauto.com and they told me that it has a lifetime warrant, so at least if it fails new ones are free. Also, they were one of the cheapest rebuilt ones I could find.
